She nurses us when we are ill and is always ready to aid us if we are injured. Each of us has a number of abilities and interests and our separate troubles in planning and pursuing them. Sometimes we need the advice of someone who can help us sift out of general confusion the exact problems that face us, so that we may see our goals more clearly. The boys' counselor, Mr. Robert B.

In the arts and crafts, students are able to give an interpretation to their emotions through self-expressionand to learn certain skills. Courses in Mechanical, Architectural and Engineering Drawing teach a language in which the form, size, finish, color and construction of an object can be described accurately and clearly. The best samples of crafts shop work such as articles of jewelry and metalware are shown every year in one of the first floor showcases. The art department enters many paintings in the Scholastic Art Awards Contest and Tech has continued to make a fine showing. The art students also draw advertising posters, design pages for the Techite, paint the beauti- ful Christmas Pageant scenery, and contribute in many ways to the beauty of the school. . -----qui
